Leave a Review Kinkoo
Heavy restriction for free account
I downloaded this app to check it out, and from everything I went through to set it up I was getting genuinely excited. The preference questions and kink setup were really good. Had no problems setting it up and starting to use it, until I noticed that the profiles being shown were from random places all over the globe. For a simply social app that would be great! However, to shrink your search area or search a specific region you had to purchase a premium subscription, just to look! While there’s a great deal of effort put into this app, I’m not going to pay for a simple search just because of the interest involved. I’ll go to sites like FetLife if I wanted to focus solely on kinky hookups. At least I can search for free on those.Show lessShadowVII_v2
Not good and here is why I say so.
This app does not give you the option to search in your area for free. When you browse you are given a feed of people from across not only your nation, but what I assume to be the globe?? If you’d like to refine your search to better suit you, you have to pay and there is no type of trial period to view and get comfortable with the application.
Less than Desirable and you would be better off paying a different app to chat with less specific people and begin conversations about your kink lifestyle.
This all impart makes it an incredible feat to obtain a person or persons to connect with and eventually meet up and discuss it act on your fetish’s.
Unless you’d like to scroll for a while and eventually chat with someone it more than like you won’t end up with- move to another app. Hope to see you there.Show lessSAFfan123
Absolutely frustrating app.
Whoever is giving this app stars is making money off of it. The search functions do NOT allow you to specify correctly orientation bdsm, for instance, “Dominant” is considered a fetish that you may be interested in or someone you are looking for may be interested in, but you can only search for it like it were a fetish, rather than an orientation. So you end up getting a grab bag of people from all different “fetishes” when they are spectrum or orientation based.
Additionally, the site is completely overrun with scammers and professionals looking for cash, you get thirty messages a day from people all over the world with their little schtick trying to part you from your dollars. “sorry I’m looking for a date with someone nearby.” “Oh that’s ok hun as long as you’re a true submissive you can pay my flight.” “No thank you.” “Oh you’re insane good luck [insert insult]”. I’m in a large city in the US and there was not a single person in my area looking to connect. There is no “last online” on profile so you might be flipping through a stack Tinder-style of people that haven’t been on in over a year.
Kink dating remains a nightmare - get out to a munch in your area or post in classifieds on FL.Show lessDratticus
Amazing potential but…get ready.
However, you only are allowed to send ONE message. That’s it. Unless you want to pay the subscription. Also, the app claims to make this one message rule about minimizing scammers/spammers; BUT THATS ALL IVE SEEN. Even some verified profiles were a bit sketch. This app could be awesome and I’d love see it take off, however… the bots/scammers/spammers/people there to only sell their body, kill this app and rob any one trying to find someone of that opportunity; as well as the developers with pay walls and super restrictive access. Also in the terms of agreement for all of you reading and talking about it… they said “We have no obligation to provide support for the service...”Quite the “support team” there.
P.S. Almost forgot to add the worst photo verification tactic I have ever seen in my life. For their photo verification to work, you have to BLINK for the camera to take a picture…. Do you have any idea how difficult that can be?? ESPECIALLY when Ik this half-one-eye-opened-blurry-blackout-drunk-acid-trip-gone-wrong version of myself is on my PROFILE so everyone can see THAT’S what we are supposed to look like. I’d like a button or a timer for that to say less.Show lessThat u like
Pretty lousy so far
This app does not let you search profiles by region/place/distance unless you pay for it. So if you want to find somebody even remotely near you, you either have to pay for it or live in NY or CA. So I paid for a month. Now I can search more narrowly, but so far it seems like the primary purpose of the app is for men to find professional dominatrices. I get multiple messages a day asking me if I want a mistress and my profile very clearly says I do not. Also, even after you pay to be able to search locally, you cannot search locally for verified profiles or online users, you can only do one of those three at a time which is pretty useless and so major an oversight that I assume it’s intentional for some reason, but I can’t imagine how it could possibly benefit kinkoo to make it harder rather than easier for their customers to find actual matches.Show lessmtl1985
Scamland
There are real people yes! But 99% of the time you’ll be getting texts from scammers. People with the little golden diamond and clearly fake profile pictures. Offering weird stuff or trying to get you to text a phone number or link to some money account. It’s really frustrating because my inbox has LITERALY within 1 WEEK 36 MESSAGES from SCAMMERS! Like what... I wish this app had ID verification. I wish you could filter the online people for people who are close to you and not just people online in freaking the other side of the United States. I don’t like the flower gifting system that much because it makes girls or boys want to get them and encourages a “sugar daddy” and “sugar mommy” system that’s not healthy at all of anyone. Lastly but not least I’ve been paying “premium” for a while now even before I last downloaded again, and I don’t really get any cool unique or nice features other than being able to use the app normally so yeah... idk...Show lessUmbirielzz
Finally
I found this app a few days ago and figured I’d chuck 15$ and give it a shot for a month and not even a full week in I found a mommy it’s a very active community. The only real issue I have is you guys need some full time moderators to monitor for bots because there are a few of them every now and again but over all this is a definite good place to find someone no matter what you’re kink may be. The notifications are a tad excessive as well but thankfully you guys already had a option in settings in place for that thankyou guys for a wonderful experience 100 times better than tinder you guys are what tinder tried to be.Show lessMrdebacle
Waste of time unless you want to pay!!!
I had this app before and thought I would try it again. Im from a small town and it’s hard enough finding people on regular dating apps, it’s stupid that you can’t even limit your matches to a state unless you pay! I wouldn’t pay for this app for the simple fact that 99% of the messages I receive are from bots offering to be a sugar daddy! And the other 1% are thousands of miles away! I’m a Texas girl and have not once received a message from a Texas male! That is my experience the entire time I’ve had this app! Now i just spent forever getting my profile verified so I could send a message, and what happens? Now we can only send one message period without paying! Yeah no! I’m out! Also in the course of 24 hours I received over 50 messages, out of all of them only 2 were from real people! The rest was spam!!!Show lessHeavenleighannlilyann
Don’t waste your time.
Any app that bombards you with DMs as soon as you sign in which you have to join the premium version to even respond to is a waste of time and money. It’s very obvious that you’re not going to have that response level as a new male profile with bare minimum information and no pictures that are relevant to anything. It’s even more obvious that they’re only interested in your money when a nontrivial percentage of the responses are the exact same message-word for word- from different accounts. I doubt very much that there are any legitimate female profiles on this app at all. If there are, they’re entirely too few in number to make it worth attempting to parse through the astronomical number of phonies. Oh, and of course you can’t really even do that until you give the app money. Just get on fetlife and use that. Even if you can’t find what you’re looking for it’s free.Show lessSteelbreeze68w
Scammers and Fakes
I would not recommend this app to anyone, but especially for females. You’ll get 5-10 scam messages a day, if not more, and you can’t do anything against it. You can try to change your settings to limit messages from “unverified” folks but it doesn’t really do anything — you’ll still get bombarded with unwanted messages that aren’t even trying to hide they’re scammers.
Additionally, only your first 5 messages are free. After that, you’ll need to pay for a premium subscription in order to respond to anyone. And let me tell you, the paid portion of the app is not much better than the free version, except you can send messages and search by location. Otherwise you end up with people all over the country looking for a hookup or a sugar baby (which of course they will pay for everything! Just send them your Venmo acct)
Deleting this app after several frustrating months. Not worth the time or effort.Show lesscoconutz17
